Competition: Canada Premier League

Match begins: 23:00 (UTC)
Venue: Westhills Stadium (1718 seats)

Another absorbing fixture in the Premier League. Pacific is in the 1st spot after featuring in two fixtures. They greet HFX Wanderers who are placed 5th after two matches.

HFX Wanderers have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Pacific and HFX Wanderers.

HFX Wanderers form and stats

HFX Wanderers are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss). HFX Wanderers seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

There might be some fixture complaints from Wanderers as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 1-2 against Pacific.

Prior to that match, the HFX Wanderers manager Hart faced defeat when travelling to Atletico Ottawa and losing 0-1.

We have checked recent matches where Wanderers have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eleven games were one victory, four draws and six defeats.

HFX Wanderers have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
